Bodies falling
Heaven’s calling
The rapture cries
The horsemen ride
The scorched earth
Lies black and red
The bodies fall
And cry in vain
Why is this
The way it ends?
A single kiss
Atheists
They accepted death
Refuted lies
Feet on the ground
Lips connect
When death is bound
Love is found





--------------------------------------------------------------






Corrosive Towers
Failing powers
Flailing limbs
Ripping flowers
Dragging down
Into the grave
That with which
Was meant to stay
Their time is done
Their lives are gone
But rotting still
They taint what’s good
Bodies in landfills

By fire's light
And fireflies
Catastrophic butterflies
A single flap
Their wings shall beat
You'll be dead
When next we meet
Another time
A different crime
Before the third
The flames did leap
It curled up
Inside the heat
And burnt away
Just like this day
Always this way







If anyone knows what the hell that means, please tell me. >.>

Stick to writing things in the middle of the day when you're entertained.

As for interpreting your second poem... Uh... Err...

... Don't do drugs.

If you write lines of random phrases that occasionally rhyme and have roughly the same number of syllables consistently throughout each verse, I suppose you could stretch the term poetry to cover what you've created. After all, by merit of poetry's very definition we have poetic license, which allows us to interpret things differently based on our own perspective. However, I personally believe that if you string together a few lines with complete negligence to their meaning, you've created nothing more than a few random lines of text. A child can accomplish that much.

Poetry, on the other hand, should express a meaning. While the message doesn't need to be clear, to write something without any desire to create a message to begin with is to disregard the fundamental concept of poetry and do little more than provide a farce to entertain the ignorant masses who applaud and cheer a few rhyming verses because they don't know any better.

If you have to ask someone else what your poetry means, you aren't creating poetry. In fact, the person creating the poetry would be the one who defines those words, because without meaning, you've done nothing but place letters, numbers and punctuation marks into convenient places. If you scribble on a piece of paper and someone says it looks like a cloudy sky, who created the picture of a cloudy sky? Was it the person who scribbled without the intent to create anything, or the person who created a meaning out of something that had none?

Just something to think about...

Maybe it was meant to be entirely random and impossible to understand...
